i'll stand by you....

i'll stand by you

through the good that we always expect and the uninvited ugly

~

through the simple colors of life we paint all on our own 

and 

the thick murky brown when they all get mixed together

~

through the poorly shaped words that are foreign on our tongues 

and

the silence we retreat to that makes us grasp for air

~

through

the quiet nights doused in grey thoughts 

and

 the morning sun whose warmth gives us the strength to start all over again

~

i'll stand by you
